The ability of neurons to change strength efficiently is referred to as:
A)neurogenesis.
B)synaptic plasticity.
C)dendritic pruning.
D)long-term potentiation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of neurons to change the strength of their connections (synapses) with other neurons. This is essential for tasks such as learning and memory. Neurogenesis refers to the process of generating new neurons, dendritic pruning refers to the process of eliminating unneeded dendritic connections, and long-term potentiation refers to a specific form of synaptic plasticity in which a persistent increase in synaptic strength occurs after a high-frequency stimulation.
